Job 9:19

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

God is wise and all-powerful.
Who has opposed Him and come out unharmed?

Yet now you are obsessed with the judgment due the wicked;
judgment and justice have seized you.

Do you have an arm like God’s?
Can you thunder with a voice like His?

God has spoken once;
I have heard this twice:
strength belongs to God,

And do not bring us into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.

[For Yours is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever. Amen.]

because God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.

Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him,
that we can take each other to court.

If only I had someone to hear my case!
Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me.
Let my Opponent compose His indictment.

Refute me if you can.
Prepare your case against me; take your stand.
